  • Alan Wake delivers a deeply psychological and finely crafted plot that raises the bar for storytelling in video games. The riveting story of Alan Wake is propelled by a movie-like atmosphere, compelling situations, memorable characters, and real-time pacing. Remedy has a record of creating and developing games with unique cinematic presentation and exceptionally high production values
  • As Wake journeys deeper into the mystery of Bright Falls, the shadows close in around him. When darkness descends, light becomes his only ally as he fights his way to daybreak. This poses a severe problem for Alan Wake since his enemies seemingly gain strength from the shadows, and before long, light itself becomes his greatest ally. Players must skillfully combine their use of light with more conventional weapons to stand a chance
  • Set in the town of Bright Falls, the hyper-detailed environments of the Pacific Northwest play an important role, as even the change in daylight and weather will profoundly affect the characters and enemies in Alan Wake. The game's advanced rendering engine provides amazingly realistic environments that bring this world to detailed life—from the lush forest of evergreen trees to the quaint small-town buildings and streets. The world of Alan Wake is alive and real
  • The mission-based structure of Alan Wake creates an episodic narrative similar to a deeply structured dramatic television series, such as Twin Peaks and X-Files. As the episodes progress, gameplay evolves to introduce new elements and characters, escalating the level of threat and action in the game

Explore an expansive world filled with missions, unique puzzles, intense combat, and horrifying enemies.

The story and creepy atmosphere is very, very good and the graphics are solid however when it comes to combat and level design the game just feels incredibly repetitive and linear. Its good, but not great.

Great game!
Alan Wake tells a very interesting story which though taken from many sources (even directly mentioning Stephen King); is woven in a way that makes this Remedy's story. I won't mention any of the plot here as I think it is best to go into it knowing as little as possible.

The combat mechanics are very enjoyable and on higher difficulty settings the game can be very intense as you struggle to keep the darkness at bay. The guns have plenty of feedback making their use very satisfying. The music (especially between chapters) and voice acting are of a high quality and suit the game very well.

I don't have many complaints about Alan Wake , but I do wish it was possible to listen to the 'hidden writings' during actual gameplay. It sometimes damaged the flow of the game, which is a shame as they add a great deal to the story sometimes acting as predictions to future events. At times this increases the feeling of suspense the game quite successfully creates. The other bugbear possibly exists a result of Alan Wake's long development time; the lip-syncing is horrible, ugly in fact. Normally I don't allow visuals to reduce my enjoyment of a game, but it stands out like a nun in a brothel. The game has high production values and for the most part looks gorgeous, so it's sad the cut scenes suffer from this setback.

A final note, this didn't bother me as I enjoyed the game immensely and will play it through again. Some may be unsatisfied with the length of the game. I'd say most people will finish it in approximately 10 hours. This seems quite standard to me and the game doesn't out stay it's welcome, but I do know some gamers expect longer titles.

If you have a 360 then I recommend this game highly.
